# React Native Expo

Thryve React Native SDK supports Expo projects. The SDK will set-up all the native project configurations automatically for both Android and iOS after adding the `@thryve/react-native-sdk` plugin to your `app.config.js` - no additional plugins or manual native file changes are required.

{% hint style="info" %}
The plugin handles the Nexus Maven repository, Gradle SDK versions, Android manifest permissions, Health Connect infrastructure, iOS entitlements, and privacy manifests automatically. No manual native file changes are needed.
{% endhint %}

Please refer to the [React Native set-up](/integrate-your-mobile-app/setup-thryve-sdk/react-native.md#install-packages) for guidance on installing packages before proceeding with adding the following configuration:

```js
// app.config.js
module.exports = {
  expo: {
    ios: {
      infoPlist: {
        NSHealthShareUsageDescription: 'Allow to share your health data',
        NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription: 'Allow to update your health data',
        NSCameraUsageDescription: 'Camera is required for ShenAI facial health measurements', // Required for ShenAI only
        UIBackgroundModes: ['fetch'],
      },
    },
    plugins: [
      [
        '@thryve/react-native-sdk',
        {
          nexusUsername: process.env.THRYVE_NEXUS_USERNAME,
          nexusPassword: process.env.THRYVE_NEXUS_PASSWORD,
          android: {
            // Include only the modules your app uses
            modules: ['health-connect', 'samsung-health'],
            // Omit `permissions` entirely to include all permissions for the selected modules.
            // Provide it only when you want a subset — but every data type you pass to
            // start() must have its permission listed here, otherwise Health Connect will
            // reject the call at runtime (error 90005).
            // Unused permissions require justification during Google Play Store review.
            permissions: [
              'android.permission.health.READ_HEART_RATE',
              'android.permission.health.READ_STEPS',
              'android.permission.health.READ_ACTIVE_CALORIES_BURNED',
              'android.permission.health.READ_SLEEP',
              'android.permission.health.READ_BLOOD_GLUCOSE',
              'android.permission.health.READ_BLOOD_PRESSURE',
              'android.permission.health.READ_WEIGHT',
              'android.permission.health.READ_HEIGHT',
              'android.permission.health.READ_OXYGEN_SATURATION',
              'android.permission.health.READ_BODY_TEMPERATURE',
              // Add further permissions your app needs.
              // All available strings are in HEALTH_CONNECT_PERMISSIONS:
              // const { HEALTH_CONNECT_PERMISSIONS } = require('@thryve/react-native-sdk/permissions');
            ],
          },
          // Include only the iOS pods your app uses
          // Apple Health is configured via ios[] and infoPlist above
          ios: ['ThryveCore', 'ThryveAppleHealth', 'ThryveShenAI'],
        },
      ],
    ],
  },
};
```
